Other parts of it will take exactly the opposite side.
That is, they'll still insist that your lived experience doesn't matter, and they'll still make sweeping claims about people like you that aren't true, and they'll still dismiss anything you might say on the matter and try to make you feel as bad as possible in the process... that part doesn't change.
But they won't do it by making you appear stupid, or irrational, or argumentative, or emotional.
Rather, they simply assert that you're wrong, which they know Because They Know, and that neither facts nor emotions nor logic nor personal experience matter in the face of their received wisdom.
Personally I find those folks even more difficult to deal with.
